<---is glad that Lorie liked her yoga routine
<---has been enjoying hers as well

<---bruised hers many time when she was a Figure Skater and can't imagine how painful a broken one would be - owie!
<---is also shocked at Melissa's short post but totally understands not being chatty
<---hasn't been chatty for several days
<---continues to send quick knee healing vibes Robin's way
<---thinks poor Em has too many meetings!
<---enjoyed Kel & Steph's novels ;)

<---is sooooo tempted to hack it off
<---is a little ascared though, but is sick of washing 24" worth of hair and then having to blow dry it...
<---kind of likes Katie Holmes look at the moment, but thinks she will start with just taking off a few inches
<---is a chicken...

<--- comes back again for a minute
<--- waves to Stephanie & Liann
<--- agrees with Lorie about Eionn & would also like another DVD by him
<--- sorry Stephanie was up so late last night & hopes she sleeps better tonight
<--- glad to see Suzanne back again & not in "blur-mode" this time
<--- hopes Melissa gets those blues behind her soon
<--- also sends her a big hug (((MELISSA)))
<--- tells Liann that <--- has been doing yoga at least every Friday & really enjoys it
<--- has also been sleeping better lately
<--- wondered about Ravi & Ana but decided against them after seeing clips on YouTube
<--- thinks the routines look a bit weird & spastic
<--- also heard a lot of great things about them too, though
<--- is impressed with Liann's hairstyle boldness
<--- has high school hair but at least it's easy to style & maintain
<--- may get highlights soon but that's probably as wild as <--- will get
<--- has been doing pretty good with spending lately but expects to "bust out" in February
<--- plans to start by preordering STS!
 
<--is glad <-- is not as clueless as <-- thought about "LB"
<--knows how Melissa feels...<--has had many of those days as of late
<--thinks Liann must have been a cutie of a figure skater
<--is off to be quiet now
 
><--thinks Liann must have been a cutie of a figure skater


<---lol, tells Beavs that she had the Dorothy Hamil cut and everything - gag
<---will have to pull out some old pictures for $#!%$ and giggles
<---thinks you guys will get a kick out of them
 
<--Will blame overspending on Evily too. Just for the heck of it.
<--Agrees that we all have blue days.
<--Hopes Melissa's day gets brighter.
<--thinks it's from over-shoveling
<--Thinks Melissa has PSP (post-shoveling-depression)
<--Is happily sipping on a decaf/non-fat cinnamon latte from Saxby's. Mmmmmmm.... and listening to Henry throw a temper tantrum. In American Band Stand terms, I'd give it a six for lack of originality. But I'd give it an 8 for pitch. Man, that kid has some lungs.
<--Says he's mad at <--for not carrying him into the house after we went to the store
<--had bags and coffee and so <--made him walk
<--Now is getting the "You bad mommy!" look
<--Digresses
<--Also thinks Liann would look divine with a short do.
<--Used to have VERY short hair. Over-the-ears-boy-short and LOVED it.
<--Says it's a b**ch to grow back, though.
<--Says Liann must post pictures, regardless!!
<--Is off to console the King. (Men!)
 
><--- wondered about Ravi & Ana but decided against them after
>seeing clips on YouTube
><--- thinks the routines look a bit weird & spastic
><--- also heard a lot of great things about them too, though

<---tells Kel, they are definitely "weird" but she kind of likes it
<---says that they do movements that make you sweat - like going from a down dog to an up dog back and forth for several minutes. Your arms start to really burn
<---would be totally embarrassed if DH came in and saw her doing the breathing exercises though
<---says there is some mediation involved too
<---adds that the program is totally customizable (you pick what you want from a Matrix before you start) and you do not have to do any of the meditation/breathing stuff if you do not want
<---thinks Barbara Benagh is a little more normal ;) and her DVDS (Yoga for Stress & Yoga for AM/PM) have a ton of different routines on them
 
<---was going to tell Lorie to send the DVD to Suzanne, since she beat me to the post
<---saw that Suzanne very graciously beat me to the post again in turning down the DVD
<---tells Lorie she will have to toss a coin
<---calls heads
<---thinks Stephanie has wonderful parenting skills and does a marvelous job at ignoring, no, embracing the tantrum
<---is also getting a haircut this afternoon
<---had made the appointment weeks before surgery was scheduled and it's too hard to change
<---besides, will love getting a shampoo, since <--can't shower until after Friday's appt with surgeon
<---knows Liann will look gorgeous, no matter what length



ETA:<---jumps back in to send a {{{HAPPINESS HUG}}} to Melissa
 
<---is done with long, boring meeting *yawn*
<---can now get back to more important things... namely, chatting with you guys ;)
<---is happy that Robin's surgery went well :)
<---is LOL at Kel typing MOOO instead of <---
<---has done that before!
<---assures Stephanie that <--- is really not that important
<---has lots of meetings because <--- is on lots of project teams
<---is just a lowly engineer, but apparently they value <---'s input anyway ;)
<---takes the blame for Shelley's excessive spending behavior, but <--- does NOT take the blame for anyone else's spending :p
<---would, however, be happy to point any other scrapbookers in the direction of great things to spend money on ;)
<---needs a 12 Step Program for <---'s scrapbooking supply addiction
<---thanks Suzanne profusely for the hot beverage - *slurp* ahhhhhhhh! :9
<---is sorry Melissa is having a not-so-chatty day and sends ((((hugs)))) if she needs them
<---is LOL at Liann describing "Breath of Fire" :p
<---can only imagine!
<---agrees that Liann would look HOT with Katie Holmes' hairdo!
<---DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! :7
<---says "I triple dog dare ya!"
<---used to have the Dorothy Hamil haircut when <--- was little, but <--- was not a figure skater
<---is LOL at "poor" Henry being made at not being carried into the house
<---wonders how Stephanie can be so mean and heartless to make her own son WALK! :p ;)
<---doesn't really think Steph is mean or heartless... just thinks kids are funny ;)
 
<--is LOL at Robin and <--each trying to be nice :7
<--looks like Lorie will indeed have to toss a coin
<--also LOL at Stephanie's description of The Tantrum
<--have weathered many, many tantrums over similar matters of utmost seriousness. Sigh. Parenthood.
<--is glad Emily's back doing what's most important at work :p
<--would have loved a Dorothy Hamil do
<--unfortunately am "blessed" with Roseanne RoseannaDanna hair
 
<---is sick at her stomach trying to decide what to do with her hair...
<---has to leave for appointment in 30 minutes and isn't sure whether to have 3" taken off or more like 13"...
<---is afraid of having "short hair" remorse the next day
<---always goes back and forth - long...short...long...short
<---wishes she could just be happy with her hair
<---says these are the cuts she is considering:

<--LIANN!!! LOL!
<--you could make the Hammie 'Do the new rage
<--seriously, I like those short 'do's.
<--they're very kicky!
<--I say go for it.
 
<-- has to pee too badly for having just read Liann's post
<-- wanted to say hi but now <-- have to run (to the bathroom)
<-- is glad Ms. Sx is doing well and only took 1 painkiller
<-- never ever even thought it was a pillow donut
<-- guesses that speaks highly of Ms. Robin doesn't it?
<-- has yoga for happiness in <--'s amazon cart
<-- better run!
<-- wbbl
 
<--Is ROFL at Liann's pictures!!
<--Thinks that the diva piggie do is only doable by diva piggie Dharma
<--Likes do numero 2 for Liann
<--Loves bobs
<--(not strange men named bob, but the bob do)
<--Is a bit loopy because <--just designed and cut out 60 miniature candy wrappers for sister's baby shower/lunch Feb. 9
<--Wonders if that could be a workout? Craftmax? Carpal-tunnel-max?
<--Says Henry was napping, so <--took advantage of the free time
<--says he's still napping!! :)
<--Says tantrums may be loud and inconvenient, but boy, they tire them out!
<--Thinks Evily is important and that's why everyone wants her input!!
<--Thinks all of the OALers are terribly important people!!!
 
<--- wonders if King Henry has awakened yet?
<--- can't imagine making custom candy wrappers for a shower
<--- thinks Stephanie is very creative
<--- just passed 13,000 posts
<--- needs a life
